摘要

本研究旨在观察汉黄芩苷对人胃癌顺铂(cisplatin, cDDP)耐药细胞株SGC7901/cDDP耐药性的影响，并探讨其分子机制。采用浓度梯度递增法构建SGC7901/cDDP细胞；CCK-8法检测汉黄芩苷和cDDP对SGC7901/cDDP细胞活性的影响；Chou-Talalay中效分析法对两药的联合效应进行评价；流式细胞术检测活性氧(reactive oxygen species, ROS)含量和细胞凋亡；shRNA干扰技术抑制Nrf2基因表达；Western blot检测Nrf2、NQO1、GST-π、MRP1、cleaved Caspase-3、p-Akt和Akt的蛋白水平。结果显示，汉黄芩苷与顺铂单独作用或二者联用48 h均可剂量依赖性地抑制SGC7901/cDDP细胞活力(P < 0.05)；当抑制率超过16%时，二者联用呈协同效应；SGC7901/cDDP细胞的p-Akt、Nrf2和MRP1蛋白水平显著高于其亲代SGC7901细胞(P < 0.05)；汉黄芩苷与PI3K抑制剂LY294002均可抑制SGC7901/cDDP细胞Akt磷酸化(P < 0.05)，增加ROS含量(P < 0.05)，下调Nrf2蛋白水平(P < 0.05)，上调cleaved Caspase-3蛋白水平(P < 0.05)，最终导致细胞凋亡(P < 0.05)；但抗氧化剂NAC可减轻汉黄芩苷诱导的氧化应激和细胞凋亡(P < 0.05)；汉黄芩苷与沉默Nrf2基因均可使SGC7901/cDDP细胞NQO1、GST-π和MRP1蛋白水平下降(P < 0.05)。以上结果表明，汉黄芩苷可在体外增强SGC7901/cDDP细胞对cDDP的敏感性，这可能与其抑制PI3K/Akt/Nrf2/ARE通路，从而增强cDDP的毒性作用并触发氧化应激损伤有关。

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of wogonoside (WGS) on the cisplatin (cDDP) resistance in human gastric carcinoma SGC7901/cDDP cells and its possible mechanism. The drug-resistant SGC7901/cDDP cells were established by stepwise exposure to cDDP. CCK-8 assay was employed to detect the cytotoxic effect of WGS and cDDP on SGC7901/cDDP cells, and the combined effect of WGS and cDDP was analyzed by Chou-Talalay method. Flow cytometry was used to determine the apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) gene was knocked down by using the short hairpin RNA (shRNA) approach. The protein levels of Nrf2, NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), glutathione S transferase-π (GST-π), multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1), cleaved Capase-3, p-Akt and Akt were detected by Western blotting. The result showed that after various concentrations of WGS and/or cDDP treatment for 48 h, the cell viability was remarkably reduced in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). When the inhibition rate exceeded 16%, the combination of WGS and cDDP produced a synergistic effect. The protein levels of p-Akt, Nrf2 and MRP1 in SGC7901/cDDP cells were higher than those in SGC7901 cells (P < 0.05). WGS and LY294002 (PI3K inhibitor) both remarkably decreased the phosphorylation level of Akt (P < 0.05), down-regulated the protein level of Nrf2 (P < 0.05), increased the content of ROS (P < 0.05), up-regulated the protein level of cleaved Caspase-3 (P < 0.05), and induced apoptosis (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) decreased apoptosis and oxidative stress reaction induced by WGS (P < 0.05). WGS and Nrf2 gene silencing both down-regulated the protein levels of NQO1, GST-π and MRP1 (P < 0.05). These results suggest that WGS may reverse cDDP resistance in SGC7901/cDDP cells through blocking the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway, thus enhancing the cytotoxicity of cDDP and inducing oxidative stress reaction and apoptosis.
